GIVING VETERANS HOPE THROUGH FITNESS

Ten years ago, Mike Nichols had a dream.  During his service in the Marine Corps he had always had a desire and passion to create a program to give active duty and Veteran service members and convert that experience into the fitness industry.  After meeting Carol Ann and Chas Rodgers through F45 they turned that idea of a program into a reality.

This reality is now known globally as the F45 V.I.P. which is short for Veterans Impact Program.  It is based on 5 pillars for success:

1.  Employment- creating  employment opportunities for service members to fast track into the F45 franchise network.
2. Internship- 12-week skill bridge program that helps active duty service members obtain the on-the-job training and education they need to work in the fitness industry.
3. Apprenticeship- this program is designed for coaches working in an F45 studio, who want to become Master Trainers.
4. Ownership-F45 recognizes that some of their best owner-operators are those that have served in the military.
5. Studios on bases- the ultimate dream has become a reality in having F45 studios on military bases.

Combining these 5 pillars makes the F45 V.I.P.  a Global first.
